As the new year approaches, we begin to consider our lives. Resolutions are considered and chosen to help us grow, to improve our lives in one way or another.
This new year, resolve to grow in understanding of the Order of Saint Benedict. Benedictine Men and Women of Courage: Roots and History would be a wonderful way to learn about the development of the Benedictine Order from the earliest centuries to today.
Our Sister Ann Kessler has revised her text which helps readers "explore fifteen centuries of intrigue, controversy, commitment and inspiration...This fast-paced book surveys the vast landscape of saints, scholars, mystics, and reformers whose impact continues to offer insight not only into the past, but into the future" (Lean Scholar Press).
Brother Benet Tvedten, OSB commented that her text is "An appealing and unique history of the Order of St. Benedict becuase it is an account of both male and female Benedictines. Sister Ann Kessler tells the whole story and she does it very well." You can read what Brother Benet and others have seen in the story of courage at Lean Scholars Press.
Curious about this fifteen-hundred-year story? Lean Scholar Press offers an overview of the contents of the text.
Blessings and Happy Studying!
